It List: Monday 4/23/07

Stnnng/Burnt Sienna (Secret Headquarters): Best Monday night show I've seen in some time. Stnnng (pronounced "stunning") is from Minneapolis and they play a furious yet exacting style of rock music that is reminiscent of Ritual Tension in their better moments, or the calculated shout and thud of Shellac. Their drummer also played for the now defunct and impossibly complex instrumental outfit, Wicketran. Burnt Sienna Trio will also play and I hope to catch it since their live appearances are somewhat rare compared to other Denton acts. Burnt Sienna's music is almost the opposite of Stnnng, with heavy folk and blues influences and some very busy banjo picking. Go to this.

The Summer Of The Grill is in full effect tonight @ SHQ.If you missed out saturday you missed a great meal.As usual, we'll get ya started w/a little something but bring your own meat & share a bit of the love.

ritual is an obscure reference. The drummer of ritual tension actually lived in dallas for the last five or six years and played in some local dallas bands including the confessionals and i think he played with some of the plexus loom guys.
